County Launches Programs to Help Small Businesses

The County is partnering with Founders First Community Development Corporation (Founders First CDC) to help small businesses with bonding and/or insurance requirements, and bookkeeping assistance. The Bonding and Underwriting Insurance for Local Development (BUILD) program will offer direct support and financial resources to small businesses and non-profits that typically can’t afford those requirements. The Compliance, Operations and Readiness Education (CORE) program aims to prevent labor violations and promote fair business practices by providing expert-led administrative and bookkeeping assistance. Both the BUILD and CORE pilot programs expect to support more than 100 small businesses and nonprofits over the next year. Learn more about these programs here.
